New reality show targets people's fears

Fox has lined up a quirky new reality show which centers on people’s greatest fears.

Panic Attack is the name of the new series picked up by US network Fox in which contestants face their fears with the help of a pair of therapists.

The series will target those scared of heights, animals, tight spaces etc, and work them through it with hosts Nik and Eva Speakman, a husband-wife psychotherapist team. The pair have hosted the UK series A Life Coach Less Ordinary in the past, with both specialising in motivational speaking.

Word is the series will take on a fast-paced, high-intensity style, similar to that of Fear Factor.
